Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

The new season is coming.

Chapter 133 Blitz England! [Four thousand words combined chapter]

In the tactical meeting, Brazilian head coach Scolari has repeatedly emphasized that Ling Feng, who is only 19 years old, is the most threatening player in the Three Lions!

Therefore, not only Neymar was impressed by Ling Feng, but even Brazil’s double defensive midfielder partners Paulinho and Fernandinho turned their heads and glanced at Ling Feng who was standing at the end of the England team.

It seems that they want to see what is so special about this 19-year-old genius that the British praised to the sky.

In their minds, the coach’s unquestionable order echoed:

“Keep an eye on the No. 15!”

“This is the key to our victory!”

After looking Ling Feng up and down, the two of them couldn’t help but murmur in their hearts:

“He is handsome, but his body doesn’t look good.”

“But he looks very cunning.”

Of course, the two did not despise Ling Feng, but paid more attention to this real thigh of the Three Lions.

Ling Feng’s amazing performance in the group stage and the knockout stage has long allowed the world to see his talent and strength that can be seen with the naked eye.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng is the soul of this Three Lions!

They know very well that a technical midfielder like Ling Feng who plays football with his brain and moves erratically will not engage in too much physical confrontation with you.

To defend him, two people must cooperate in the area and block his passing line to his teammates as much as possible.

Don’t defend Ling Feng as a person, but defend his pass!

This is also Scolari’s tactical arrangement for Ling Feng.

Interestingly, Henderson in the England team also turned his head and glanced at Neymar, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Hodgson’s task for him was to keep a close eye on the opponent’s core – Neymar!

Once Neymar cuts in from the left, he must go up to defend him immediately and not let him shoot or pass the ball easily.

While the players of both sides were thinking about their own things, Ling Feng did not forget to greet David Luiz and Oscar, who had met in the FA Cup.

After all, they are opponents on the field and friends off the field.

After waiting for a while in the player channel, the two teams walked into the field with the little ball boys under the introduction of the stadium DJ.

“Huo”, the whole stadium suddenly exploded with a tsunami of welcome!

Among the more than 50,000 spectators, at least more than 30,000 were Brazilian fans wearing yellow jerseys.

After all, it is the host country, and the home advantage is huge.

The starting lineups of both teams were basically the same as the outside world had guessed.

England only changed two positions:

Due to Rooney’s injury, Sturridge returned to the center and played at the front.

Vardy defeated Welbeck and Lambert and got the chance to start as the left winger.

Smalling, who performed well in the last stage of the last game, replaced Jagielka, who was in average form, and partnered with Cahill as a central defender.

Brazil changed two positions from the last game against Chile:

Gustavo, the defensive midfielder, was replaced by Paulinho; Alves, the right back, was replaced by Maicon!

The reason why the Brazilian team in this World Cup was later called the weakest Brazilian team by fans was largely due to the decline of frontcourt talents.

Compared with Kaka, Robinho, Fabiano, and Grafite in 2010, the frontcourt players of this Brazilian team, except for Neymar who supported the scene, Oscar and Hulk were not first-class stars.

Especially their center forward Fred, who is called the “worst” Brazilian No. 9 in history by fans!

Fred, who was returned by Lyon, can actually serve as the main center forward in this Brazilian team, which shows how bad the forward line of this Brazilian team is.

For Brazilian fans, the one who once wore No. 9 was the “alien” Ronaldo!

Even compared with Luis Fabiano, who wore No. 9 in the previous term, Fred is more than one level lower.

At least Fabiano has established a foothold in La Liga Sevilla and won the La Liga Silver Boot in the 0708 season.

The main center forward is FF who only bullies weak players in the Brazilian league.

Therefore, just like the offense of the Three Lions depends largely on Ling Feng, the frontcourt offense of this Samba Army also relies heavily on Neymar.

However, compared with Ling Feng, Neymar has a heavier burden on his shoulders.

Neymar is the origin of the Brazilian team’s offense.

Starting point and end point.

Not only do you have to dribble past opponents and tear up the defense, but you also have to organize the offense and pass threatening balls.

You even have to get to the front of the goal and complete the final blow!

In the three group matches, Neymar scored four goals, accounting for more than half of the goals for the Brazilian team.

And Oscar of Chelsea is his only capable helper in the frontcourt.

As for the “Hulk” Hulk who killed in the Portuguese and Russian Super Leagues, in the international competitions where there are many masters, he has no effect at all except using his butt to push away the defensive players.

In the last game against Chile, it was because he was not focused when receiving the out-of-bounds ball and was intercepted by the opponent that he scored the equalizer.

The two defensive midfielders, Paulinho and Fernandinho, are both defensive midfielders.

The organizational ability is average, and he can only occasionally insert a long shot from behind.

However, compared to the dilemma of relying on Neymar for attack in the midfield, Brazil’s starting defense is very strong:

Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo, Maicon!

Each of them is a top star in each position. Except for the slightly older Maicon, they are all in their prime and their strength is unquestionable.

As for the goalkeeper position, it is Cesar.

Saint Cesar, who once helped Inter Milan win the treble, is already 35 years old.

Two years ago, after leaving Inter Milan, Cesar’s state fell sharply.

After transferring to the Premier League Queens Park Rangers and failing to help the team stay in the Premier League, he was loaned to Toronto FC in the MLS for a short time by the team to maintain his game state.

In this World Cup held at home in Brazil, Scolari still chose to believe in this experienced veteran.

In the eyes of many Brazilian fans, their own defense line is very stable.

It is possible to say: “Who can break this defense line in the World Cup?” Before the game, the fans and celebrities of the two countries had completely different views on the game. England seemed a little pessimistic. Originally, this England team was a team without successors. In terms of the quality of the players, even if the opponent was the weakest Brazilian team, there was a clear gap. Rooney, the only top star in his prime, was injured and absent just after he found the feeling of scoring. In terms of offense and defense, the frontcourt offense heavily relied on Ling Feng’s creativity, and the backcourt defense was not reassuring. Except for the last round of the group stage against Costa Rica, which had a large rotation, and achieved a zero seal, the other three games had lost goals. Brazil, on the other hand, was full of confidence. With the home advantage, a solid back line, and Neymar’s hot state, they believed that their team would definitely be able to beat England! Therefore, according to the strength gap and tactical comparison between the two sides, most football experts predicted that Brazil would be able to easily beat England and advance to the semi-finals. At the beginning of the game, the Brazilians took advantage of the home advantage and quickly entered the game state.

The left-wing combination of Marcelo and Neymar took the lead in launching a sharp attack on the right side of England!

The wing where Marcelo and Neymar are located is the strongest offensive direction of this Brazilian team.

Basically, most of Brazil’s attacks will be launched from the left.

Glen Johnson, who guards the right side of England, is originally a full-back who is strong in attack and weak in defense.

He is strong and fast, has a strong sense of forward insertion, and has a certain long pass ability.

But his positional sense and defensive awareness are poor.

Originally, the main right back of the Three Lions was Kyle Walker of Tottenham.

Walker is extremely fast, strong, and has both offensive and defensive capabilities. He is the main right back of the Three Lions.

However, because Walker was directly reimbursed for the season due to an abdominal injury in March, Hodgson would use Glen Johnson, who has a good assist ability, to start.

The original intention was to let him frequently move forward, give Sterling on the right some support, and play offensive football.

Unexpectedly, Johnson had no chance to move forward at all, and was directly beaten by Neymar and Marcelo!

Five minutes into the game, Brazil attacked from the left again!

First, Neymar dribbled past the opponent on the left and moved forward.

Looking at Neymar’s delicate dribbling, Johnson fought and retreated, not daring to stretch his feet to grab, and could only wait for Henderson in the middle to come to assist.

However, Neymar was also waiting.

Until Marcelo made a high-speed insertion, from behind him, Neymar made a straight pass, and the ball rolled between Johnson and Henderson and came to Marcelo’s feet.

Marcelo took the ball to the bottom, looked up at his teammates in the middle, and then kicked the ball directly.

Fortunately, Smalling in the middle stretched his legs to block the ball, so that the ball changed its line and flew out of the bottom line.

Brazil won

Got a corner kick on the left side of the front court.

Neymar took the corner kick and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Brazil captain Thiago Silva jumped up as if his legs were equipped with springs under the close defense of Smalling, and did a move of looking back at the moon.

The ball was rubbed to the back of the goal.

And Fred, who happened to be unmarked, kicked the ball directly into the empty goal!

In just five minutes, Brazil blitzed England and led one to zero!

What surprised everyone was that Brazil scored a goal in just five minutes after the start.

Moreover, the goal was scored by Fred, who they called “Scolari’s relationship” and “the worst Brazilian No. 9 in history”? !

After scoring the goal, Fred opened his arms and rushed to the stands where the Brazilian fans were with an excited look on his face.

Then, he stood still suddenly, pulled the Brazilian jersey on his body with both hands, roared at the fans, and vented his emotions.

No matter how bad the fans thought Fred was before, and how he wasted opportunities on the field, at this moment, Brazilian fans regarded this man wearing the number nine jersey as a national hero, and gave him the most sincere cheers and applause!

Compared with the crazy celebration of the Brazilian players, the Three Lions, who lost the ball in just five minutes, stood still and looked at each other.

Although it was already known that Brazil’s left-wing attack was very sharp, the head coach also made a tactical arrangement for Henderson to assist in defense.

However, when the strength gap is too large, all tactics and fighting spirit are empty.

When the combination of “the third man in the world” Neymar and “the one-stop left-winger” Marcelo faced the combination of Sterling and Glen Johnson, England was completely defeated!

England’s right side could not defend against the successive attacks of Neymar and Marcelo, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.

In the eyes of Hodgson on the sidelines, this goal was not that simple.

Not only the gap in player strength, but also the tactical targeting.

The goal against Chile in the last round was also scored in the same way:

Neymar took a corner kick from the left side of the front court and found Thiago Silva in the penalty area.

The latter did not head the ball directly, but rubbed the ball back, and David Luiz, who was at the back of the goal, shot and scored!

The two goals were almost the same.

Obviously, this was a corner kick tactic carefully arranged by the Brazilian team!

The cheers of Brazilian fans echoed in his ears. Standing at the top of the arc in the center circle, Ling Feng’s expression was calm, but his heart was like a calm lake, without any waves.

It was not surprising that Brazil scored first.

To be honest, the reason why England was able to break out of the death group and enter the quarterfinals was largely because of the existence of a player like him.

Ling Feng’s playing style is very suitable for the tactical system of the entire Three Lions Corps, which is almost seamless and plug-and-play.

And Hodgson also gave him a lot of trust and freedom, allowing him to give full play to his advantages.

However, he is only one person after all, and his physical strength is limited.

Football is a team sport of eleven people, and no one can be missing.

He can’t organize the attack in the frontcourt, pass the threatening ball, and return to the backcourt to help defend.

Perhaps in the future, when other attributes such as physical strength and defense are improved, he can become an all-round hexagonal B2B super midfielder.

However, at least for now, he still has to reasonably allocate his physical strength and keep it in the offense.

Therefore, when facing a team with stronger overall strength, he can only return to the midfield position as much as possible to increase the number of defenders in the middle.

However, the defensive ability of this England team is really not flattering.

There is only one Henderson in the middle, who is considered to be a defensive midfielder with good defensive ability. Gerrard’s running ability has declined significantly, and his defensive ability is not as good as before.

And Johnson’s defense on the right side is also the shortcoming of the entire defense line. How easy is it to defend the Brazilian player with the strongest personal ability in this era?

This is also one of the reasons why Hodgson wanted to play “offensive football” and attack instead of defense from the beginning.

In fact, he also wanted to play a pragmatic defensive counterattack.

On the one hand, the British media asked them to win the game, and they had to play beautifully and attack vigorously;

On the other hand, they couldn’t defend at all, so how could they counterattack? !

Although he knew very well that there was still a clear gap between his strength and that of the weakest Brazilian team.

However, Ling Feng didn’t intend to give up or admit defeat!

Football has never been a simple comparison of strength.

No matter what game it is, he runs on the field with the mentality of striving for victory.

As long as he goes all out, even if the final result is not what he wants, he can walk out of the stadium with his head held high!
